Amazon will lash out at labor where possible. If there is some legal basis for it in France, they will claim that as cover. Pretending that this is some principled legal stance is naive.
It's an exercise of power that all of you should hope is never directed at you because, as this story illustrates, you will lose.

it has puzzled me for years too. Jacques Ellul sheds some light on this in "The Technological Society". If you consider reading it then it helps to have read Charles Dickens "Hard Times" to get a feel of what he talks about when speaking of the displacement of peasant communities in Victorian times. We see the same thing in China (and every "emerging economy") and seem to accept it (maybe due to our incredible ability to engage in "doublethink") as just being the normal part of "progress".
